How Harmful is Sewage? Can I Just Mop It Up? Part 2

Can You Just Mop It Up? (Spoiler: No!)

While it might be tempting to handle a sewage spill yourself, a mop and bleach won’t cut it. Here’s why:
❌ Porous surfaces (wood, drywall, carpet) absorb contaminants, leading to long-term health hazards.
❌ Sewage contains airborne bacteria, making exposure dangerous even if you’re not touching it directly.
❌ Improper cleanup can spread contamination to other areas of your home.

For your safety, sewage cleanup requires proper protective gear, industrial-grade disinfectants, and professional extraction equipment.
